Unable to start JavaFX UI

[thron7]

Describe the bug

First off, thanks for Spoon!

I'm new to Spoon and tried to start the new JavaFX UI following the description in spoon-visualisation/README.md. After running mvn clean package and changing into the target folder, there is no visualisation*.jar (recursively), and I haven't figured out how to build it, so I couldn't run the documented java ... -jar visualisation-1.1.jar command.

ping @arnobl

Thanks, Thomas

The Javafx build is a bit fiddly, it would really benefit from somebody cleaning it up.

Currently you need to:

1. Fix the version of the spoon-pom parent
2. mvn clean package
3. cd target/modules
4. Run

mkdir output
unzip ecj-3.37.0.jar -d output
unzip org.eclipse.jdt.core-3.37.0.jar -d output # overwrite
rm ecj-3.37.0.jar
rm org.eclipse.jdt.core-3.37.0.jar
cd output
zip -r ../org.eclipse.jdt.core-3.37.0.jar *
cd ..
java --module-path . --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH -jar visualisation-1.1.jar

This might not be entirely obvious to casual users...

This should be fixed with #5963.
